The 1968 Ford Mustang was owned by Carrol Shelby and modified as a tribute to the Green Hornet development mule from the late 1960s.
. According to the auction listing, the Black Hornet was built as a modern-day tribute to the latter, but with a different color and a few other changes.The Black Hornet features a 428-cubic-inch V-8, which powers the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission, in place of the Green Hornet's 390-cubic-inch V-8 and automatic gearbox.
The listing says Shelby oversaw the build and put 213 miles on the car before signing over ownership to"his charity foundation" on Dec. 29, 2008. Barrett-Jackson claims the car now has 564 miles on the odometer, and noted that's recognized as an authentic Shelby-owned Mustang in the Shelby Worldwide Registry.Mecum Auctions
catalog, and that listing fills in a few more details. It says Shelby commissioned Legendary G.T. Continuation Cars to build the Black Hornet, which was then donated to home decor retailer Restoration Hardware for an eBay charity auction benefitting the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation. Mecum published a pre-auction estimate of $275,000 to $325,000 for its 2020 auction, although it's unclear if the hammer price fell in that range. Barrett-Jackson CEO Craig Jackson once turned down a $1.9 million bid for the original Green Hornet, and while this tribute car isn't as valuable as a genuine Shelby prototype, the connection to Carroll Shelby could mean a lot to the right buyer.
